My Costume: Part 2

I finished the wings of my costume and finally set up the camera and tripod in a rare spare moment to show it off! Owl you glad I did!?! Okay, I recognize how bad that pun is but am so sleep deprived that I don't care.

I created a template with paper and tracing a bowl to get the scallop shape. I wish I had a tutorial for you, but sadly, I forgot to take photos of half the process. This was however my first attempt at making a template for sewing and I would say it went rather successful.

The wings are made with felt and attached to my arms with elastic loops. I picked my shirt because it was ruffly and I think it goes well with the whole owl ensemble.

So, what do you think of the whole costume together? I like it for my first real attempt at making my own costume.

About Me

I am a *30ish* year old wife to a wonderful man, the mother to two wonderful little boys and the caretaker of two lovable dogs. I am continually striving to make myself better and learn new things as well as try new things. I love art, creating art, actually just creating anything. I enjoy puzzles and building anything. I also love sports, both playing and watching.
